SPORT mode
The settings of the systems are
adapted to a sportier driving style:
● Damping of shock absorbers
reacts more stiffly to provide
better contact with the road
surface.
● The engine reacts more quickly
to the accelerator pedal.
● Steering support is reduced.
● Shift points of automatic
transmission occur later.
● With SPORT mode activated, the
illumination of main instruments
changes from white to red.
